Is it true that outside of North American it is rare for people

Carrying knife got to be illegal since 2005 here.

>>53079065
*2008

>>53079015
why though?

>>53079065

Even a utility blade under 12cm? I couldn't imagine not carrying a knife, it's so useful.

>>53079015
Bitch ass nigga, we take care of our shit with our own hands

>>53079015
Let me guess. You and your father are both /k/fags virgins.

>>53079096
This. Why?

>>53079015
Technically, it's illegal here, but it really depends of the knife and how you behave. Wielding a knife under somebody's face will get you in trouble, even if the blade is under 12cm, but I carry a swiss knife and never had any problem.

>>53079151
>>53079155

I carry one but it's not for fighting... it's a tool.

>>53079015

Why would you carry a knife around though? Not that I'm necessarily against it, it just seems a bit weird.

Country folk used to carry knives here until perhaps the mid 20th century. Stabbings in the tavern are still a part of our folklore, but education and communist repression eventually fixed that problem, I guess.

>>53079209

Opening packages, a pry, a scrapper, shaving... really int?

>not carrying a pistol
I want underages to leave

>>53079015
One of my mates carries a butterfly knife with him all the time, he's just itching to use it. Dunno if he'd have the balls though.

Obviously you can here and some people do, but I've never needed one before in my everyday life so I don't see why you would

>>53079281
>underage
more like "tough" chicano L.O.O.O.O.L.

>>53079268

I open packages with my keys, and generally don't need to do any of that other stuff in public, but that's just me desu.

>>53079534

I would never use my keys, what if you break it? They're not cheap.

>>53079015
carrying big knifes is ilegal here (bassically the size of a dagger or bigger), is not normal for people to carry knifes except for people that live in a farm

>>53079631

Fortunately, my keys are not made of jelly, so they don't break when cutting through cardboard

I carry a (folding) utility knife for everyday shit.


If I'm working working I'll go for an actual folding knife because cheap replaceable blades are too flimsy. But I get so sick of having to sharpen it every few weeks.

And fuck all these europoor haters. Knives are tools, not weapons. You could stab someone just as easily with a screwdriver.

>>53079684

tensile stress still causes fatigue though

>>53079838
Who the hell carries a screwdriver around with them in public? What the fuck is this, GTA or something?

You obviously haven't had to contend with people who use reinforced nylon packing tape. You ain't never cutting through that shit.

I would but screwdrivers don't tend to fit nicely in my pocket, so they'll have to stay in the toolbox in my car. They make nice impromptu prybars.

>What the fuck is this, GTA or something?

I don't understand what you mean.

>>53079996
I carry a Swiss Army Knife.

>muh letters and boxes
jeez, do murriblubs just receive an endless amount of boxed packages every day?
No, no one does that.
that's why we just have a knife by our desk or something for when we need it I don't expect random cardboard boxes to appear and in dire need of being opened 24/7

>>53080043
Too fat. Uncomfortable to carry in my pocket. Also too short (and expensive) to use as a prybar.

No, I work in an office, not on some sort of cowboy ranch.

>>53080110
Mine isn't too big, I carry a leather man for work, but for just in case needed, the Swiss army knife works fine.

>>53079015
Me and my closer male relatives all carry knives. I don't go around asking other people if they carry knives, though.

>>53079015
Some People have utity knives or swiss army knives but they are a minority. And knives from a certain blade length are forbidden (don't know which).

>>53079268
Why would you need any of those outside of your home or workplace?

>>53080160
>Being too stupid to see the advantages of having a tool at all times.

>>53079015
I carry a pocket knife with me most of the times. I don't use it in front of people who aren't friends of mine, though. People get scared when you whip open a knife in front of them, even if you use it to open a box or something. I also leave it at home when I'm going to a club.

Don't start buying knives, once you do it's hard to stop.

>>53080160
Usually you end up forgetting you have it until you need it. Much like you forget you're carrying a wallet until you feel a paki bump into you.

>>53080385
I keep my multitool in my bag. It's just too massive to be worn in your pocket.

>>53080404
Because you may come in a situation where you may need it.

>>53080460
I would love to own one but I can't get it because they're illegal here, just like butterfly knives.

>>53080404
You realize how stupid you sound when you can't even figure out what a basic tool like a knife is used for, right?

>>53080552
I know right

he has a belt holster for it, I find it impractical

>>53080561
I live in the countryside and I can't think of any use for a knife, maybe if I were a farmer or really paranoid someone was going to attack me.

>>53080561
For food, but I have a kitchen full of knives anon.
As for opening packages I'd obviously be at home and just use scissors.

>>53080589
Yeah, I have a belt holster for it as well but I'm not a janitor or a handyman so I don't really need to have it nearby all of the time. And it would just get in the way.

>>53080683
>I'd obviously be at home and just use scissors.
Hope you've got a licence for those scissors, lad.

Always thought Sophie's reaction to a small knife was weird...

I'd hate to see her reaction if they lived in America and Mark got his CC permit

I cannot understand people who think a 3 inch knife would be used as a weapon.

Says a lot about that person.

Everyone I know has always had a small utility knife or multitool on their person most of the time, and they would never use it to fight. It's entirely a tool.

It's 3 fucking inches. Not long enough to hit anything vital unless you're a ninja, and it would probably snap on contact.

Seems eurofags are fucking terrified of being in possession of anything that might require even the slightest of personal responsibility.

Which is odd because up until very recently it was perfectly normal to carry and own such things in Europe if history books are anything to go by.

carrying a knife? what are you, a thief?

>>53079151
Callate negro cabeza
Knifes are an argie tradition. But niggers and italians (aka niggers) don't understand it. The knife is a tool and it is also used for dueling

>>53080964
You're making fun of us for not doing something we ditched centuries ago? Unless you're extremely paranoid there's no use for a knife in today's age.

I never did until I started working maintenance.
Started as a work habit but recently I've started doing it either intentionally or unintentionally off the clock.

>ITT: Retards who can't comprehend that a knife can be used for more than one thing

Why would you NOT carry a knife around?

What is so paranoid about using a basic tool?

And knives are no longer used in Europe? There is zero need for a sharp object?

From my point of view it is completely bizarre.

>>53080561
You are the retard here, no one needs a knife for every day life. Unless OP has to open packages on a daily basis, which I doubt. A knife has no use other than open shit up and cut shit up.

Only 14 year old edgy kids carry knives around here, and i'm pretty fucking sure it's the same in the netherlands

>>53081085
I know right, what if I'm out and about and the lord calls me to join his army? I won't even have a weapon!

>>53080673
A folder is absolutely shit for self defence.

Also, it's nice to just be able to cut something if the need arises like a piece or rope or if you get a package. You won't have to walk around looking for scissors because you have something for that in your pocket at all times.

I first started carrying a knife when I worked in a kitchen, and it has vastly improved my life.

You laugh, but I do carry a set of butchering/skinning knives in a compartment underneath my car's seat right next to my AK pistol.

Filled up my freezer last year with nothing but deer that thoughtfully threw themselves in front of my car. Six total. Only one of them had a busted gut.


Was my civic duty to put the things out of their misery anyway, so I may as well make use of the bodies.


Pity they made it illegal to butcher moose roadkill in Canada. Wasteful desu. Also endangers scavengers.

Knives are a thing in Andalusia.

either way if you don't know how to fight with a knife its not going to do you much good and if anything might end with you getting stabbed by your own blade.

I go fishing, I can use my knife to fix the fish hook.
I see a string sticking out of my trousers or shirt and I know that it will get worse if I pull on it, I can cut it off.
I buy a bag of candy and it doesn't have a practical opening, I can cut the top off.
Need to open a bottle? Use a knife.
Get a splinter, I can take it out with a knife (or twizzers, if I am carrying my swiss army knife at that moment).
Maybe I have a piece of paper and I want to put it in half. If I don't have a pair of scissors with me, I can use a knife.
Maybe I need to unscrew a screw, I can use a knife for that too.

There are many other ways to use it, but this is on the top of my head.

Convenience is the word, not need.

Easier to reach in my pocket to slit open a bag of horse feed than go looking for a set of scissors.

Easier to use the blunt side to unscrew a screw than walking all the way back to my truck to go digging in my toolbox.

Clean my nails.

Other stuff.

Point is, it's not a big deal like you, Belgium, and Britain are making it out to be. It's like carrying your wallet or keys. You just do it, you don't think about it or make a fuss.

Insinuating that anyone who carries what an otherwise mundane bit of sharp metal in their pocket is going to go on a stabbing spree at any moment is actually pretty insulting.

Usually can just pull it off without any problems.
>I buy a bag of candy and it doesn't have a practical opening, I can cut the top off.
Never had a bag of candy that I couldn't open with my hands.

Splinters are not a daily occurrence for me.
>Maybe I have a piece of paper and I want to put it in half. If I don't have a pair of scissors with me, I can use a knife.
Can tear off with my hands with out any problems. Probably looks better than a piece that was cut with a knife.
>Maybe I need to unscrew a screw, I can use a knife for that too.
Not a daily occurrence. If I know that I would need to fix something, I come prepared.

Average person has no need for a knife.

that's because you're a country boy, so I guess you're fine

still seems rather annoying to carry a knife for that one time you may want to use it... and since you're talking about conveience, having a big ass sharp tool on me all day long seems rather unconvenient, as opposed to just wait to get home and/or use my keys

Only savages would need to carry something USEFUL on a daily basis. If I can't do it on my iPhone, I'm not interested.

>>53083137
It is inconvenient because I have a job that requires me to sit in front of a computer for 9 hours a day. My phone already feels too big in my pocket when I'm on my chair, and so do my wallet and keys which is very uncomfotable. It is inconvenient because it's useless (to me at least) and I have no use for it. Obviously no one carries shit that they have no need for. And if I ever need one, I can just use my keys, or a knife if I'm at home.

I can see where you would have this notion because you've probably never seen a folding pocket knife in your life. It would snap at the hinge before it would go through a a light coat.

Your paring knife is a solid piece of steel with a handle over a portion of it. This is why folding knives are legal for personal carry ( a tool ) and blades designed for stabbing ( butterflies, switch blades, and handled knives ) are not.

Fucking Brit cucks.

>>53079110
well... if you live in the country then may be it is. But if you live in the city what would you need a knife for?

A while ago I started carrying a knife around after so many people reccommend it. I used it maybe like one time to jimmy something on my bike and repair it. Other than that I never had use for it. I don't know what kind of lives you guys live, but a knife is just in the way for me.
It's more likely that I just attract the wrong kind of attention than actually need it for something.

Yeah I suppose if I were really intent on killing someone with a 3 inch flip blade I could do it. The blade design goes to intent though. I bet if you googled "killed by punch" you'd get over a million results.

why don't people just admit that knives are cool and it's fun to handle them?

I mean, letters and packages are a lame excuse. Everyone get those, and we can open them just fine with the tool we keep in our homes. There is always some object within arms reach so you can improvise. 9/10 times though I can open a package with my hands.

>>53086507
A shallow blade is the only practical option, a long blade may do damage to internal organs, but you wouldn't get far with one. A short blade used to slash can tear open multiple veins and have them bleed out fairly quickly. Internal organ damage is bad, but you'd need a larger weapon.

That's because we use decisive wording in America. We don't dance around something with semantics when there's no validity in our argument.

If you can't see the use of a knife as a tool it's because of cultural differences. It's because you live in a nanny state where someone under the age 18 wasn't allowed to purchase a set of spoons.

No one is arguing that a knife isn't a useful tool. If you are a hunter, postman, fisherman etc...

A knife IS useful.

But the average Joe does not need to carry a knife.

Please don't lump us all in with all these pussy-whipped, scared of everything fucksticks that we share a landmass with. They're the reason we have sandniggers flooding europe and everything they say should be discarded.

But yes, not that many people over here EDC a knife and if they do it's normally a folding one or a multitool. I carry a fixed Mora which I use at least atleast once day, be it opening boxes (not a meme, I actually open dozens at work every day), cutting shit or when I'm bored, cleaning my fingernails and whittling stuff.
I never had to use it in self defense and hope I never have to.

People that carry wont just admit they carry a knife because they think it's cool. Because let's be honest now, a knife has very little use, which does not justify any average guy carrying it.

>>53087221

Once again, that's a difference of cultures.

I carry a small knife, and if I need it's there. Whether or not I need it every 5 minutes like my smart phone is redundant. I can use it to open a package of jerky that won't tear without using my teeth. I can pick a pebble out of the tread of my shoe. I can drop my tire pressure if it's icy.

It's not like I'm going to slip, fall, and cut my dick off with it.

>>53087628
i'll have you know that I carry a pocket watch and it is useful for an almost INFINITE amount of things

anyone who doesn't approve is just scared of pocket watches

>>53087547
this
also tightening screws, fixing bends with the pliers, dat flashlight, bottle opener/corkscrew to open beverages, filing your nails, measuring things with the ruler, etc

they barely take up any space in your pocket and help you do tons of different things when needed. i also like to carry a lighter even though i don't even smoke.

>>53087628
>a knife has very little use

fuck I used my knife like an hour ago to cut open a cigarillo at a bus station to use as rolling paper

>>53087740

only bring one when i'm in the woods and i'm actually going to use it

>>53087736
I actually did that though. My girlfriend left me and now I have to let large gay men fuck me in the ass to get any sexual pleasure at all (thank you, prostate)

You just don't understand it's uses because your country has been raped of it's manhood. It's not my fault you can't think of a use for a small folding knife or multi-tool. It's your society's.

While it may appear so, rational thought hasn't been entirely forbidden here.
And from personal experience, the people that berate you for carrying a knife are the same ones that can't change tires on their own, need help setting up computers (just plugging everything in) and can't fix basic shit themselves.

As a matter of fact, the day after Christmas was sunny when I left for work and monsoon tier when I left. Had I not grabbed my umbrella and a plastic bag just in case my tablet would have been ruined; I have a ten block walk home from work.

etc.

I started carrying a little folding knife around 13/14 and even at 21 it still comes in handy all the time. Never stabbed or assaulted anybody with one, just used it to cut or open shit with less hassle.

imo the sami knife is not overcompensating
it's supposed to replace the axe as chopping tool

2 are currently in prison so if they had the balls to try that again they would have done it already

>Americans excusing carrying knifes because of their utility

What kind of a backwards ass fucking country requires you to have to carry around a knife on a daily basis?

>>53089283

one of the best all-purpose knives you could get desu

>>53089363
One occupied by ACTUAL men lmao

sissy brit boys at it again "ooooo scary pieces of metal make it go away"

>>53089188
Why do yanks keep mentioning opening letters with a knife? They don't have wax seals on anymore, you don't need a knife, just slip your finger in and tear it open bit by bit.

>I've carried a knife my entire life, my father has done the same and most males I've know as well.

Most males who wear cargo shorts and a Casio F-91W carry knives here.

And then they think we're making fun of them because we're scared of knives

No, we're making fun of autistic manchildren who run around with a useless "knife" they never need in their pocket, unwilling to admit they do it because it makes them feel like big boys

>>53089363
I'd respect it more if they just admitted that knives are neat and that's why they carry them. You don't really need more reasons than that. Instead there's all these weak excuses of practical stuff that anyone could strictly speaking solve without carrying a blade every day.

If I didn't see the flags of some of you posters ITT, I would think you're baiting.

What kind of a fucked up country has bins where you can put your knives? What kind of a country requires you to show your ID before you can buy a knife?

>>53089359
What we're saying is that it's possible things could have worked out in your favor, but it's more likely that they would not. These guys may have been cowards or whatever, but the guys next time might pull out their own knives and rush you.
There's a saying EMTs have: the loser of a knife fight bleeds out in the street and the winner bleeds out in the ambulance.

I think most people in this thread asking what do you use a pocket knife for are not against carrying one, they just never needed one... your examples are pretty weak too, how many times do you buy something with an hard plastic that you need to open? Also, once again the letter example

The only problem is the fingerguard, but at least it's been made small enough so you can work around it.

I carry my Spyderco when traveling, always useful to cut apples, cheese and so on.
In everyday life I have no uses for it though since I work an office job (and people would freak out if I got out an actual life to open letters).

What type of knife do you think op was talking about?

It is just a pocket knife, comes in handy at times.
